Hmmmm - well if we're talking culture - hmmmm - gotta think on this one. Oh, of course, I'd be Indian from India and if we're talking religion I'd be Hindu. Have many friends from India and Trinidad...

Now that Egypt has had its democratic election and all the 'hype' that came along with this do you think that Egyptians are seeing themselves (now) as having a different culture than before? If one...
Am wondering how all the Gigalos are faring in the new Arab Spring? Been wondering if they're going the way of the dinosaur OR if they're alive and well and have morphed into a new personna. Kinda...

I think it will be very hard for someone who's been a gigolo from they were tall enough, to go out and find actual work - by that I mean being employed by someone. It's nearly impossible for young...
What happened? Where did everybody go? Have you all decided to abandon E4U now that the true news about my affair in Luxor has come to light?

To tell the truth I was offended at first by the original post, until I understood it to be a joke. I am very serious about not using other peoples stories in my fiction. Was very confused there for...
Egyptian women are trapped between who they are and who they are expected to be; they are required to live up to the expectations of their parents, families, colleagues, and later on, their husbands...

Am wondering if, since the Arab Spring, the roles of women are tightening or loosening? Am wondering if Egyptian women are going to accept the tightening of control over their lives IF fundamental...
Today one of our local schools, a Native American School, had their school dancers put on a show in the foyer of our gov't buildings.
The dance teacher for these dances is Plains Indian and his...

These kids are all from an Indian School and come from many diverse tribes. The teacher (first photo) is from Montana hence he is a plains Indian and what he is wearing is traditional and typical of...
Soon as I got off the plain in Mexico I was amazed at the number of men and women lined up trying to sell me something. For a second I thought I was back in the Souk in Luxor or walking down the...

@ Jewel - do you mean the children are bred just to be workers and if they do not work they are discarded?

OK lets put this into perspective, LLL has put up a jokey post about her having an affair in Luxor instead of being on holiday in Mexico, I am sure that she was doing what many others have done over...

Nada taken WI. Never gave it much of a thought before I posted it. Just liked the sentiments expressed in the message.

The first time my neighbour's car was attacked it was done by said girls wrapping it in toilet paper. Up over and under round and round up over and under. They must've thrown 3 or 4 entire rolls to...

I agree Lisak that probably most of the women are at home with the kids and elderly. When I was at Cairo University there were many female students. Mostly I just haven't noticed (via TV) as many...
